Looking to put a drag radial on my 19 inch GTCS wheels. Can anyone make a suggestion ? All the 19 inch drag radials I have seen are 305+.

Send your stock wheels out to Weldcraft to have them widened. Or be a man and put a 15" rim on with a bias ply tire. :highfive:

I, too, wanted 19" DR's for my factory wheels, but nobody makes any that fit, just like Five-Oh mentioned. I ended up buying a set of 18 x 8" factory wheels and ran the stock 235's upfront with 275 M&H Racemasters out back with very good success last season (low 1.6's sixty foots with 100% stock suspension & engine).

I just received my new set for the track. 17 x 4.5 up front and 15 x 10 rears from SVE with M/T ET Streets from Late Model Resto (click here). Hoping to shave a tenth or two with this much lighter set up. First outing will be in 2 weeks.

Any idea what it cost to get wheels widened? I plan to buy a drag pack setup as well but still want a good tire on the stock wheels

HPP Racing in Lewisville has a guy that narrows/widens for $200 mount and balance.

Just had him do my 18" on my 15 mustang...

18x12 with 335 Hoosier drag radials.

He also has some 19" boss replicas that he is widening for me right now to 12" to run 345/30/19 NT05R's

What state is that? If it's that cheap I'd be real interested in going that route asap. I imagine it's 200 a wheel?
